Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 6 months old. At first, he said it hurt when he swallowed something, and it was found that it was accompanied by mild coughing. At the same time, he had been a little feverish. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated for pain?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or medication injections can be used in conjunction. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be applied. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is under control. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
